In part 2 of “Crypto Conspiracy,” Zev Shalev reveals how Elon Musk manufactures chaos to manipulate elections and the crypto markets. Zev tracks Bitcoin's extraordinary surge to $100,000 through a series of amplified crises in December 2024 and January 2025 and reveals a surprising pattern: Chaos - not calm - is what fuels the extraordinary surge in crypto prices.

As the US swung from crisis to crisis, major news events dominated headlines—from a CEO's assassination in Manhattan to a Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas and devastating California fires —Bitcoin's price climbed 50% in just a few weeks.

“I call it the Chaos Ladder,” Shalev says. And it’s how Donald Trump and Elon Musk are making Billions in their Crypto conspiracy.
